agriculture and livestock business
prepare the environment,
nurture an abundant life
Various animals live on the land of Ark Tategamori. Seasonal vegetables and wheat grow there. Nurturing living things and crops means creating an environment that is suitable for each of them. In other words, it can be said that it is about bringing out their will to live.
Surrounded by so much energy and vitality today, we savor the joy of working in a nurturing profession.
The environment in which the pigs on the farm live is also a place where the people who work there spend a lot of time.
To improve the quality of livestock farming, we must create a comfortable environment for both the pigs and the people raising them.
With these aspirations in mind, we have created various environments to support our farms, obtaining JGAP certification, which is awarded to farms committed to food safety and environmental conservation, and becoming the first company in the Tohoku region to obtain farm HACCP certification.
Vegetables and wheat originally have the power to live and grow.
That's why we try to raise them in a way that draws out their power.
We cultivate pesticide-free vegetables and organic wheat, minimizing the use of unnecessary ingredients and reducing the burden on the environment.
The animals at Ark Tategamori are raised in a healthy, stress-free environment with thorough hygiene management and a balanced diet that allows them to thrive.
Furthermore, we consider the environment, including the design of the pigsty and waste disposal, striving for coexistence and mutual prosperity with the local community. At the same time, we are committed to the quality of our meat, providing the finest pork through rigorous inspections.
"Tategamori Kogen Pork" boasts a light, refreshing fat and tender, flavorful lean meat. "Tategamori Kogen Pork Noah" is a new brand of pork that pursues a clean, refreshing lean meat without any unpleasant odor. Both are crafted with the concept of being table meat that you can enjoy every day without getting tired of it.
Prioritizing the health and safety of the pigs we raise, we produce safe and secure feed using feed ingredients grown on our own farm and feed rice grown by nearby farmers.
By incorporating negative ions derived from growth-enhancing light water into our pig farming practices, we support the healthy growth of our pigs and strive to create a healthy breeding environment. We carefully manage our daily operations to produce safe and high-quality pork.
We have obtained certifications such as "HACCP," which is based on international food safety management principles, and "J-GAP," a certification system for agricultural production process management. We are committed to improving safety, quality control, and sustainable production systems.
We raise chickens in an environment where they can peck at the soil, spread their wings, and move around freely. We are committed to raising healthy chickens and producing high-quality eggs while respecting the chickens' natural behaviors and habits.
We practice free-range sheep farming, where sheep graze freely in spacious pastures. By working in harmony with nature's rhythms, we support the healthy growth of our sheep.
We cherish the soil ecosystem and cultivate healthy and safe vegetables.
Furthermore, we are committed to producing organic fertilizer, using waste products obtained from our pig, chicken, and sheep farming businesses,
We reuse vegetable scraps and other waste to create environmentally friendly fertilizer.
Each employee observes the condition of the crops,
We provide healthy and delicious vegetables by harvesting and processing them by hand.
To bring out the inherent strength of vegetables and wheat, we practice cultivation that is as close to nature as possible. We are committed to pesticide-free cultivation that does not rely on unnecessary substances and is environmentally conscious.
We recycle livestock and agricultural waste, vegetable scraps, and food waste from restaurants and processing plants into organic fertilizer. By giving a new purpose to things that would otherwise be thrown away, we support local resource recycling and sustainable agriculture.
We have obtained organic JAS certification and practice organic farming based on strict standards from cultivation to management. We cultivate crops in a way that brings out their inherent potential while also being environmentally conscious.
We value the health of the soil and the natural growth potential of the crops, and cultivate organic wheat in accordance with organic JAS standards. We practice sustainable agriculture while being mindful of our environmental impact.
We have our own flour mill, which is certified organic under the Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS), and we mill our own flour. Because we mill only the amount we need, when we need it, the true aroma of the wheat is what makes our bread and pastries stand out.
We cherish the land of Tategamori, producing herbs that bring peace to mind and body, while creating a beautiful landscape in harmony with nature. In particular, the gardens on our farm, with their colorful flowering trees and shrubs, including lavender, are very popular with our customers. The herbs harvested on the farm are carefully processed by hand and sold as herbal teas and other herbal products.
A garden where over 100 varieties of herbs and seasonal flowers spread out. Enjoy a handcrafted landscape nurtured by nature and human hands, which began with herb cultivation.
We have a wide variety of rare herb flower seedlings and garden goods. Workshops are also held in the experience studio in the shop.
This is Tohoku's first JAS-certified organic restaurant, where you can enjoy a buffet-style selection of "Tategamori Kogen Pork" raised on the farm, organically grown vegetables, additive-free ham and sausages, fertilized eggs, and bread and sweets made with organic wheat.
